AH, another exercise challenge. Unfortunatly my attempt at a December Exercise Challenge failed miserably but i am determined not to have January turn out the same way. My goal: exercise 4 days a week. In my exercise i would like to walk 15 miles this month.
Hopefully this month will go better. Good luck everyone!

Week 1~ So far i have exercised 4 days this week, and walked 5.28 miles!!!!!:dancer:
Week 2~ Exercised 3 or 4 dayz (cant remember!) and made my total of miles up to 9.192!
Week 3~ 3 dayz
Week 4~ 3 dayz-total miles up to 11.692
Week 5~ usually i only count the miles that i walk on the treadmill cuz i want a real workout but this morning in p.e. we had to run a mile and so i am counting that mile cuz i know it was a complete mile. SO, need to walk 2.308 miles to meet goal

This is my first challenge. I'll start simple. I would like to exercise 4 times a week for at least 1 hour. This would include treadmill, bike, and videos.
Started week one on Monday Jan.1.

week 1 - exercised 6 days!!!! 5 hrs, 40 mins total. Hope I can keep it up.

week 2 - exercised 5 days!! 4hrs, 5 mins total. Ya!!

week 3 - exercised 5 days!! 3hrs, 45 mins. Almost!

week 4 - exercised only 2 days this week, 2 hrs total. Not so good, been very busy with other stuff. Must make up for it with the last few days of the month.

week 5 - last 3 days!!!!

I'm going to aim for 1000 minutes this month. Will do a variety of exercise including walking, aerobics, aquacize, treadmill, bike, etc.

Okay - I said it in December and got waylaid by illness, so I'm going to try, try again! FIVE DAYS of exercise per week, four at the gym and one day of Pilates. Hopefully I've already gotten every virus imaginable and have enough antibodies to get me through the rest of winter!

O.k. so I'm going for 930 minutes again this month, IOW, an average of 30 min./day. (Last month I only made it to 420 min.) I will achieve my goal by walking, biking, weightlifting, shovelgloving, and maybe some racquetball.

I'm going to France in late June so I'm going to walk or bike 10% of the distance between here & there. (10% is around 550 miles.) EDIT: and the goal is to do this over the almost 6 months, it's an average of 3 miles/day.

Well I think I'm going to enter this challenge. My goal isn't very high....just 500 mins of treadmill time. But if I try to do too much at first I will quit so...babysteps.

Hi I am new here. I am trying to make losing weight and exercising my addiction so I am eating better and more often. When I saw your post I knew I needed to track my exercise and make it a goal, so I am setting my goal for the month.

Monday and Wednesday yoga: 1 hour each day
Tuesday and Thursday pilates: 1 hour each day
Tuesday and Thursday water aerobics: 1 hour each day
Friday and Saturday Dance Dance Revolution: 1/2 hour each day.

Right now I need to get dressed for pilates class. and fill up the water bottle! I need to make a goal and chart for the water! So much to do so little time!

:welcome:

Hey everyone. I'm stopping by to say that I'm going to have to 'drop out' of this month's challenge. Too much stuff is going on right now and there is no telling when I will be able to get to the gym. Hopefully, I will be back in next month's challenge. TTYL!

We'll Miss you here shari!

Thanks Jeni! *kiss* :)

This challenge has been great for me, though I obviously set my sights too low.

Next month, I'll challenge myself more.

Julie

eiluj~ You are doing TOTALLY AWSOME!! what type of workouts do you do??

I'm just logging time on the treadmill right now. I mean to add weights back in. Maybe that will be my goal for February! :)

Thanks for the support. I really didn't think my number would be so reachable this month.
